Shock - for vehicles from 07.2018 it will be save BMW M Performance exhaust systems give more! The background is legislation of the European Parliament and the German BMVI (Federal Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure). This requires a gasoline particle filter for vehicles from production 07/2018 in order to meet the Euro 6c standard. At BMW, this has already led to the fact that the current 7-series BMWs are being withdrawn from the market for the time being and only the plug-in hybrid and the diesel variants can be ordered. X1 20i / 25i, X2 20i, 225i xDrive Active Tourer and M550i xDrive doesn't do it better. For the current M3 F80, the legislation actually means the end. And now it's also the accessories that hit the collar.
vehicles with BMW M Performance exhaust systems can no longer meet the legally prescribed emission levels so that the BMW takes the accessories for new vehicles equipped with Otto Particulate Filter (OPF) from the range. After the ban of sound generators This is the next quite serious cut in the tuning scene. The work for third-party suppliers such as Eisenmann, Remus, Capristo, FI Exhaust and Co. will not be easier because even their sports exhaust systems are of course affected. "A change to the exhaust system that has the consequence that the emission is increased is not permitted."
In the future, measurements will be made in all driving modes, in every gear and in all speed ranges (Regulation 540 / 2014) and thus the market for accessory exhaust systems should be largely history soon. And when the legislation comes into force, it will probably also apply to older vehicles. These cars may no longer be changed from the time they come into force. If you have previously equipped your car with a sports exhaust system, this conversion should enjoy a kind of grandfathering if the sports exhaust system was allowed under old legislation, So we can be curious what tuning fans and the manufacturers of accessory systems are all about.
